whatever the case... i still love hanging out with my friends :) familiarity rocks!!!!!

got to go now... watching G.I. Joe(i hope its nice) with my family... @ 9.40pm...

yay, i get to drive again! woots

first time blogging using this new laptop :D

last sun, i met up with xiao wen, carolyn and ailin... it was a pity that shu ning couldnt join us. xiao wen's gg to china to study this coming sat... she's super pro(psc scholar).. we had lunch tgt and spent the whole afternoon tlking at starbucks :)

met hui zhen and norman at orchard.. what a coincidence. realise that a lot of 201'ners are gg overseas to study art. i really admire their courage... taking something that is quite subjective and spending so much money on it...

after tlking to carolyn and xiao wen, it seems that the people they mix with are very different from the ones ailin and i mix with. i guess it has got to do with the schools we studied in... they mix with rich and influential people... who are able to do whatever they want. with money, they can pursue any dreams.. those people have intelligence, confidence and many outstanding qualities that i dont seem to have. for a moment, i feel a sense of inferiority.... :(

conclusion: to be able to become richer, one must start off with a certain amount of wealth. this has got to do with one's fate and luck, as in whether u r born in a rich family. then u make use of the wealth to generate opportunities so that u can make urself wealthier... the rich becomes richer, the poor becomes poorer... why are scholarships given to so many rich kids when the ones who are really in need of the scholarships are the poor... isnt this kindof unfair? come to think of it: there's no such thing as fairness in life right?

feeling really tired right now. i have plenty of things to do.. yet so little time. still cant find my mugging momentum. i cant believe another week has almost gone by just like that. time waits for no man...

ppl always assume that all girls can sing high pitch. ra. thats wrong... :X

the only 3 girls. qiqi (super pro singer), me, shalene

chiat xiang, marzuki(he's a malay, but he memo the chi songs. i am impressed), roy(quite pro too), yong guan

yee long, ze lin, johnny, lin hui

group photo outside cine kbox. tazzy and fahrenheit. haha

i have been meeting up with old buddies lately. i realise these meetings really brighten up my sch days a lot.. i feel so happy meeting them :) haha... friendship requires maintenance too :)

so far i've met pat and jieying for lunch tgt.... not to mention lunching with doris yesterday.... yay!

everytime i meet up with someone, i end up meeting more familiar faces.... i feel so comforted meeting them :) love my buddies to bits!

went to check out nus csc yesterday. the cip projects sound fun and interesting. definitely worth doing. and its near my hse too :D i wanna make difference in people's lives :) it feels great to do that.

i ought to be mugging already. got a shock when i saw the tut qnses... have no idea what the qns is asking abt. i guess everyone had their own set of problems... i better get down to solving mine. cya!

the bus ride to kallang leisure park reminded me of the night cycling recee... how i missed those oac days with my batch mates... haiz.. and i realised i have been to kallang leisure park before.. haha... used the toilets during the recee trip. lol... that mall is really empty. i wonder how it is able to survive? the only attraction was probably the ice skating rink. since it is the last remaining rink ever since the jurong one closed down. we ice skated. so many of them can skate already. i was one of the few who were not very good at skating. i could move around on ice without falling. but i think i look very stiff, doesnt look like skating naturally at all.. i still had fun though... :D

Ice skating moments.......

Group photo outside the rink.....

dinner was at aston specialty @ suntec city. spent a lot of time queueing up.. thus we didnt have time to watch movie. it was a good thing though... can save money..(i seriously do not think that there are any current movies worth watching in cinemas. buying vcd is better value for money)

i cant believe i went for my gem lesson expecting the wrong things. i thought the module was about stats... calculating stuff.. but it turned out to be some reasoning... slightly philosophical class, that doesnt require any calculations. i am so dead. the title: understanding uncertainty and statistics is so misleading. urgh. :X

to everyone out there, it doesnt mean that staying near sch is a gd thing. my hse is only 10 min bus ride from sch. but... i am really unlucky. on the first day of school, i left my hse 45 mins earlier, thinking that i will definitely reach on time. i waited for half an hour before a 151 came. and it was packed to the brim, so i continued waiting. no bus came. in the last 5 mins, i had to cab to sch....RA... waste my money!!!!! right now i leave my hse 1 hr before the class starts. i do not believe that i am that unlucky.... :X ra stupid bus...

it seems that i dun have anything happy or good experiences since the start of school..... this sounds really bad. i seriously need to see hope in my life. i need to look for motivation!!!!!!! i dun wanna lead a grouchy, boring meaningless life!!!!!! and i need more good luck!!!!!! maybe its the feng shui........ hopefully this emo-ness will wear off... i cant stand myself being like that too :(

i am so going to swensen's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

amazing race and slumberparty sounds real fun.. i've missed out loads... haiz, i wonder if my og still rmbs me. haha... i hope they organise some outing or meet up soon... cant wait to hang out with them... :)

meanwhile, the thought of start of school still gives me a headache... why cant they make our lives less miserable and complicated.

i wanna go og outing lor... but chances seem slim... haiz.. this sucs totally.

hopefully i get well by tmr. haha... :D and pls let me get the gem mod i bidded... at a lower bid pt though...

1) i PASSED my driving test with only 10 pts.. :) certified driver..haha

2) i DROVE my dad's 7 seater car.......

3) i drove on an expressway at the speed of 90KM/HR

4) i PARKED the car...(with help frm my dad)

5) i DROVE MY FAMILY to tiong bahru for breakfast

6) i went to a UNI CAMP... totally diff culture

7) i BIDDED for my modules( experienced the bidding stress too.. :X)

8) i TRAVELLED to the sch of business, engineering and fass in nus

9) i have a LAPTOP for myself.... (its PINK. ^^)

Afterthoughts...

1)-5) :

i am really glad that i could pass on my first try. halfway thru the camp, i left to take my test. due to the lack of sleep and the constant worrying of what modules to bid for, i was as nervous as i thought i would be. perhaps that was why i could do well... having taken so many types of examinations in my life... i think this was the first time i wasnt nervous.

Driving the 7 seater car is so different... the car is huge. really not used to it. i think i prefer smaller size cars. with my family's lives in my hands.. it seems to be even more stressful to drive. my palms and feet covered with cold sweat. parking is the worst. especially parking straight. the car seems to be slanted... hiaz.. will need to practise a lot more. but it feelsgreat to be a driver.. haha.. i feel like an adult :D

6) :

SCIENCE ORIENTATION WEEK was quite fun. the games are very different from those that i played before..they may be the same games but with modifications to make it 'dirty'. forfeits are just dreadful....require thick skin and courage...(the time when i hope that lady luck would be with me all the time, so that i would not lose.) the cheers have a lot of hokkien words in them.. some of the cheers sound wrong, while some sound crude.. half of the time i dunno what i am cheering about(i.e. the meaning of the cheer) to me, they are just sound words :X the camp is really one that exposes my pure innocent mind to dirty stuff... haha... i think i was wearing the 'HUH?!' expression most of the time.

7) :

i really HATE bidding for modules. it's gives me unecessary stress... the whole system is like playing stocks... sucs totally. lots of uncertainty

8) :

i have never travelled to the other parts of nus before. the amazing race in the school campus realy showed me the other facs... coolness.

9) :

i bought a toshiba laptop that is pink(that model only has pink colour. hiaz), frm the sch's IT fair. havent gotten it yet though. everyone is gonna think that i love pink to bits... coz i have PINK JACKET, SHIRT, BRA, LAPTOP, PENCIL BOX, FRIENDSHIP BRACELET, SOCKS....these are just coincidences, i dun deliberately buy pink stuff... ^^

that kinds of sum up all my first times in 4 days. i'm sure there are more first times to come....

tats all folks for now :)
